    Descripción

    We are a family of four who own an old guesthouse, on the beautiful wild West Coast of New Zealand. We are located an hour’s drive south of Hokitika, and 30 minutes drive north of Franz Josef Glacier. If you love nature, hiking, fishing, hunting, exploring.. you’ll love it here.

    We will host couples or friends travelling together - it’s not ideal being solo as the family is busy and you could be lonely. We’re not hosting solo males.

    Our home is a large building on a very large property, and it’s hard to keep up with it on our own, especially as we have “real” jobs now too.

    We have a few projects happening this summer that we would love some help with.

    A storm blew away part of our shed, so we’re looking for people with good fitness and strength to dig holes, help carry timber and roofing materials, and participate with the rebuild.

    The gardens are very overgrown - anyone who can prune and dig and remove weeds are super welcome. There is also wood to split and stack, grass to cut..

    Inside the house, we have some painting help in some awkward spots, cleaning/organising/decluttering…

    We’re also looking for responsible housesitters over the Christmas and New Year period.

    We offer a lovely warm home and good company, we love meeting people and making new friends. We have a very energetic Labrador who would love you to take him swimming and walking down by the river (next to our property) and a rescued cat who is afraid of everyone but may improve with time.

    You’ll need your own car to make the most of the area - we’re some kilometres from the nearest town (though right on the main highway) and our place can feel quite isolated without transport.

    Miles Beguiles Epsilon Blast Railgun E (7 meses)

    Miles is a rescue cat who is afraid of humans but is also the most excellent cat who does excellent cat things. He cannot ever go outdoors, he is a predator and we must protect our wildlife.

    Ashley Oswald (4 años)

    Ash is a black Labrador Retriever, he is bred to be a working dog instead of a pet, so he has a lot of energy and needs firm boundaries. He is also a big cutie who loves belly rubs and all of your attention. He is allowed indoors when supervised, and you must say “big stretch” when he has a big stretch. It’s the dog law.
